Sheriff Patrol

Description[]

The Sheriff Patrol is a Hot Wheels Original Model designed by Larry Wood and Bob Rosas which debuted in the 1978 Flying Colors series. It is based on the 1978 California Highway Patrol Dodge Monaco. It has the pushbar, the staked headlights and the grille of the Monaco. There is a light bar on top together with some lights and sirens.

This casting is known under many different names, depending on the theme and paint scheme: Fire Chaser, Fire Chief, Highway Patrol, and Gleamer Patrol, for which it was retooled to have a plastic body. It is however most well known under the name Sheriff Patrol, the name with which it was associated with for many years.
